ABSTRACT:
A CATV distribution network provides an interface between a cellular communications base station and a plurality of mobile terminals. A head end signal processor disposed at a head end of the CATV network provides a first frequency conversion between a cellular communications radio frequency and the CATV network transmission frequency. A plurality of remote antenna drivers are disposed at the remote end of the CATV network and provide a second frequency conversion between the cellular communications radio frequency and the CATV network transmission frequency. Antennas coupled to the remote antenna drivers provide radio communications with the mobile terminals. The remote antenna drivers are arranged in groups, each group being operated in a simulcast manner. Dynamic range compression of the cellular communications traffic is provided on the upstream path between the mobile terminals and the base station.
